The
Nigerian Army is set to deploy no fewer than 700 officers and soldiers for
peace-keeping operations in Liberia, just as the General-Officer-Commanding One
Division of the Army, Major-General KC Osuji
has warned the troops to maintain
high moral and ethical standards throughout their operation.
General Osuji gave the warning while
addressing the troops at the graduation ceremony marking the end of their
pre-deployment training in Jaji, Kaduna State on Friday.
The
troops were warned to avoid any act capable of dragging the image of Nigeria
and Nigerian Army through the mud, as the army will not accept a situation
where its soldiers are seen as soft targets.
The
GOC stated that they must work within the rules of engagement of the mission
and respect the cultural and religious sensitivity of the Liberia people.
He
warned: “Be reminded that the Nigerian Army will not
accept any situation where its troops are seen as soft targets or conducting
themselves in unprofessional manner such as trafficking in illicit substances
of any kind including alcohol and drugs.
“Additionally,
you must respect the cultural and religious sensitivity of the people of
Liberia. You must exhibit the highest sense of personal/environmental hygiene
as Liberia is just emerging from an EBOLA epidemic,” the GOC stressed.
